What's the Soviet alloy called.... I need it to make my Ironman armor

My condolences to Professor Martin, altought I have to comment once again how impressed I am of hearing those words, you are truly a righteous man Martin Poliakoff, this generation of scientist is a dying breed.Nowadays nobody even wants to join research because of the hard path, lack of investments and support.

People want to stay locked up in some company making researches for them, but science and knowlegde is supposed to be shared through the world, its what differs us from other animals.

@xDestroyer2x You misunderstood my post. The thing that is special about us is not that we adapt. It's that we adapt our environments to suit us. The main thing though is our rational faculties.

[xDestroyer2x]

@mrrobotica On the contrary, animals adapt just as fast as we can. Bacteria for example adapt to our medicine therefore we always need to come up with better drugs to prevent sickness each 5 years or even less.

@mrrobotica which all comes down to intelligence. and the source of our intelligence is the ability to imagine - something other animals can't do

[mrrobotica]

@Draxis32 No it's not. What differs us from animals is our rational faculties and ability to adapt our environment to us.

present = money is everything

past = knowledge is everything

[Hobypyrocom]

this type of scientists are disappearing mainly because now days only the scientists that have studied in colleges and are spending billions of dollars for nothing are appreciated while the ones that are really talented and can really make stuff are pushed away because the lack of money for studies or because that's how our capitalistic society works.that is the main reason why in present the scientists progress slower than in the past even they now have all the materials and apparatuses needed.

My condolences to you and all your students and especially to the family of Yuri E Gorbaty; If this is applicable because there is no biography except for yours. Unfortunately, I see this with a lot of good people where nothing is written about them and I am talking about the internet. The page from Russia hasn't been updated since 1998 and still has his address and phone number. Maybe that's a good thing in a way. I loved your tribute.
